Question
In the following question, three sentences are given
and in each sentence, a word is highlighted which is incorrect and needs to be replaced. Select the option that has the correct set of words to replace those incorrect words. I. The minister is a gifted dexter with particular skill in manipulating the press. II. There's little solitude between your professed religious beliefs and your actual behaviour. III. She has a profanity to keep trying extreme diets although though she knows they are not healthy.Solution
'Dexter' is used as a noun with the adjective 'gifted' and as a noun, it means an animal but the subject of the sentence is the minister, so it would render the sentence meaningless. Thus, 'demagogue' , which means a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument, would be the correct word to use as the sentence also mentions that he uses his skills to manipulate the press. 'Solitude' means isolation and the sentence is about beliefs and behaviour, clearly, there is no connection between the two. So, 'congruity' , which means in accordance with each other or one another would be appropriate in the given sentence (to convey the difference between one's religious beliefs and their actual behaviour). 'Profanity' means an oath and the sentence is about her tendency to try extreme diets, so it is clear that there is no relation between the two. Thus, 'proclivity' , which means a tendency to choose or do something regularly, would be the correct word to use (habit of experimenting with extreme diets). Hence, option (d) is correct.
